- MSMarlee Schmidt3 days ago5.0I think it was awesome I love that they had a kittie playplace I also liked the breakfast over all the room is also pretty nice we thought the Wi-Fi was a camera bc it was flashing✌😂✌
- VLVincent LasherMay 12, 20265.0Ian at the front desk has been repeatedly exceptional. He has gone out of his way to make my family feel welcome and has been accommodating to all of our needs. Highly Recommend!
- DHDerek HansonMay 11, 20262.0Great location. Friendly staff. Water park was great for what it was. I enjoyed the stay but feel like the place is due for a remodel. TV was tiny, no usb charging. The water park has basketball hoops with the rim barely connected to what amounts to a wooden fence backboard and some of the features on the lazy river not working (dump buckets). Comfy bed and great pillows!
- MSMeg SMay 3, 20263.0We stayed overnight. I have three main issues. 1: the life guards in the Waterpark need some serious improvement. A 2 year old kid fell in head first and not one of the 3 life guards on duty noticed. She was thankfully ok after someone I know noticed her. (I understand its the parents main fault, though). 2: the showers in the room are incredibly slippery. Its an accident waiting to happen. Be aware of that. 3: for almost 300 dollars a night, I expected a decent breakfast. It was egg patties. no pancakes or waffles, and the juice tasted funny. Lastly, the shower amenities are below subpar. It's either that or the water is super hard. Room walls are paper thin. Bring ear plugs. Other than that, we had such an amazing time, a great memory to hold. Just be aware of these things.
- ASamanda SchwartzMay 2, 20264.0Stayed at the Holiday Inn for Run the Lakes. The room was nice, we heard another guest snoring and neighbors party voices at 2am. Thin walls. Nice waterpark. Ok breakfast, pretty small.
